Yahoo Autos Alpine A110 Tour de Corse 75 gets rally-inspired look
Renault-owned Alpine went to the heritage well and came back with a limited-edition version of the A110 called Tour de Corse 75. It stands out from the regular-production car with a yellow and black livery created as a tribute to the A110s that competed in the 1975 Tour de Corse.
The striking yellow and black look is complemented by white exterior accents, white paint on the 18-inch wheels, and a set of edition-specific decals. Designers used the driver-side rear light to add a number seven to the rear end; that's the number assigned to one of the A110s that raced in the Tour de Corse, an event also known as "the rally of 10,000 corners." Inside, Alpine added harness-ready Sabelt bucket seats.
Although there are no mechanical modifications to report, the Tour de Corse 75 receives the turbocharged, 1.8-liter four-cylinder that powers the A110 S. Mid-mounted, the engine sends 300 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission linked to a pair of shift paddles. Brakes sourced from Brembo help enthusiasts make the most of the turbo four's power.
